An Insider's Point of View on the Nutritional Supplement Industry

Please join us on Tuesday
January 7th, 2014 at 4 pm pacific / 7 pm eastern as we host Jeffrey Moss, DDS,
CNS, DACBN for a webinar entitled "An Insider's Point of View on the
Nutritional Supplement Industry."

In this two part webinar
Dr. Jeffrey Moss will discuss many of the issues and controversies involving
nutritional supplements. Having worked in the nutritional supplement industry
since 1985, and as the founder of Moss Nutrition Products, Inc. in 1992, Dr. Moss
has the experience, qualifications and insider's knowledge to present
information that most of us never hear about and need to know.

To participate online and to view the webinar click here and follow the online registration instructions.

The goal of this two part
webinar is to provide information that is not readily accessible to healthcare
providers or the general public about nutritional supplements. Participants should learn what goes on in the
research, development, sourcing of ingredients, manufacturing, processing,
product quality, as well as the purchasing and selling practices of
supplements. Just like wanting to know about our food supply, where food comes
from, how it was grown or prepared, we should know as much about our
supplements.

This presentation and the
following webinar on January 21st will focus on the difficulties finding
researched information about the supplement industry, how supplements are
formulated and manufactured, and the selling practices of supplement companies
and healthcare professionals. A description of the manufacturing process, who
is manufacturing our supplements, what type of facilities they are made in, and
where the raw ingredients come from, will be presented. How the industry is
regulated, what makes a product manufacturer or supplement company reputable,
and product quality will be addressed. The ethics, legal regulations, and
clinical issues surrounding the sale of nutritional products will be
included.

Dr. Moss graduated from
the University of Michigan Dental School in 1974 and practiced dentistry in
Grand Rapids, Michigan up to 1985.
Having employed clinical nutrition in his practice for six years, he
decided to use this experience and enter the professional supplement industry.
In 1992 he founded Moss Nutrition Products, Inc., which provides nutritional
supplements to health care professionals.
In addition, since 1987 he has written a monthly newsletter for
professionals of review and commentary on many of the most controversial and
cutting-edge issues that face clinical nutrition practitioners today. He also co-authored the text, Textbook of
Nutritional Medicine with Mel Werbach, M.D.
Finally, Dr. Moss has been a member of the faculty of the University of
Bridgeport Masters program in nutrition since 1999.

Participation is limited to the first 100 Attendees. Participants may ask

members are muted by default when they log on.
